There’s little point in pretending that LW would be an equally welcoming forum for those hypothetical posts.
I disagree. I don’t think people would mind or downvote them, perhaps they might even get more traffic than one aimed at straight males.
However it is true that the articles in question are much less likley to be made. And this would indeed send some unfortunate signals about who is welcomed.
It is indeed interesting that no similar fields have sprung up for other sex combinations. PUA is not dedicated exclusively to bedding lots of women; it is also often applied to maintaining relationships. Particularly given how much more interested (or at least vocal) women tend to be regarding marriage, it is fascinating that no rational, experimental, or ev-psych approach for women has surfaced visibly.

Gay men already have pickup and cruising cultures. Women already have tons of cultural support for increasing their attractiveness to men (though it varies in quality).
There is some interest from multiple gender combinations in pickup, though some area still nascent or marginalized.

Yes, I think this is correct, and is closer to what I should have said.
